Media Detectives26 November 2024 (by raustin) |
In Year Six we have been media detectives, considering how we can be critical of online sources of information. We began by thinking about how our experiences and interactions online can affect wellbeing before exploring how to recognise fake news. We reflected that we need to consider if the source of information is reliable and if we need more information (from another source) in order to make an informed decision about whether a story can be trusted. It was interesting to find out that information online can be 'targetted' to the user and the risks associated with this. With this in mind, Year Six are feeling more confident about being critical when online and how to spot a story that might not be true.
